Overview

Welcome 2027 under the desert stars

New Year's Eve in the Thar Desert is unlike any city party. The evening starts with a camel ride into the dunes at sunset, moves on to Rajasthani folk music and Kalbelia dance, a gala dinner and a bonfire under the stars, and ends with a midnight countdown and cake.

Every package includes your stay at the camp, so nobody has to drive back to the city after the party. Choose a simple one-night celebration, our own Thar Resort with both safaris and a private car, or two unhurried nights with private experiences.
